Released GoblinX Mini

Postby _nitt » Thu Aug 18, 2005 3:36 am

GoblinX Project released a small version called GoblinX Mini...
I'm running already and it's great... Very small, 149MB

About

GoblinX Mini Edition is a son of GoblinX and contains only XFCE as windows manager and GTK/GTK2 based applications.
The edition is indicated for those users whose want to remaster the distro and also those with difficulties to download more than three hundreds of megabytes, original size of GoblinX Main distro.
The GoblinX Mini Edition will have newer versions released faster and it will be used also for tests and for system and hardware support improvements.

The ISO image is about one hundred and fifty megabytes, but the mini edition contains an excellent source of applications and it's more easy to download and also to remaster because modules are already prepared to allow a fast rebuild of the ISO file.
The ISO image has less than half size of the original GoblinX.

The Mini Edition will use the same version definition of GoblinX, so the mini edition is starting using 1.2.0 as edition version.


News

News about this version are:

Liveupgrade is a tool, a xdialog script, which allows you to remaster and upgrade your liveCD by creating a new ISO image.
By using liveupgrade, you are able to download and include modules, change root default configurations, save modified files from /etc and /usr/local folders, change default kernel parameters a.k.a cheatcodes and upgrade modules.
After the rebuild a new costumazed ISO is created and you can burn a new cdrom.

Hardware Support

The hardware support was upgraded. GoblinX Mini uses kernel 2.6.12.3 with a lot more drivers included as modules such as wireless drivers, tv and telephone, and more.

Xdialog Scripts

Added new xdialog/kdialog scripts to make more easy to use the distro, including scripts for linux live commands.
A better install script was included which can save all modified files from /etc and /usr/local during instalation, saving files like profile and motd. Some scripts from /etc/rc.d were also upgraded to work better after instalation on hard disk.
